Coating
The surface on which the mouse is used determines the speed of its movement and the accuracy of the positioning of the sensor.
—
Control. Rough texture coating for precise control of the position of the cursor or crosshair on the screen. Allows the mouse sensor to recognize the slightest movement of the manipulator relative to textures.
—
Speed. Smooth surface, adapted to the rapid movement of the pointer. Does not interfere with the sliding of the manipulator, allows you to move the cursor or rotate the camera relative to the character in the blink of an eye. The Speed coating is designed for high-sensitivity play.
–
Speed / Control. A variant that combines the advantages of the smooth Speed surface for better glide and the rough Control surface for precise cursor positioning. Typically, this type includes double-sided mats.
Pad shape
— Rectangular. The classic shape used in the vast majority of rugs — thanks to its versatility and suitability for almost any task.
— Round. The round shape is chosen mainly for design reasons, to create an original looking rug. From a practical point of view, this form is considered suitable mainly for “office” use: the mobility of a mouse on round products is limited compared to classic rectangular rugs, and they are not very convenient for games.
— Oval. Rugs of rounded shape, elongated in width compared to classic round ones. They have a slightly larger working surface, but they are also designed mainly for working with documents and other tasks that do not require special mouse mobility.
— Figured. This category includes rugs of the original form that do not belong to any of the varieties described above. Among them, two main types can be distinguished. The first is models designed with practicality and convenience in mind. These are, in particular, rugs with a pillow under the wrist (see below), which have a shape close to round (and similar in application), as well as products that vaguely resemble an apple in outline. The second type is models created primarily for the original design (at the same time, they may not be very practical).
Patterned
The presence
of a pattern on the rug. The drawing does not affect the practical properties of the product, but it can give it an attractive and original appearance.
Models without a pattern can be attributed to business office options, where it is not so important to stand out with colorful colours and unusual pictures.
